[quote]For sometimes irrational 'Pest From The West' good ITK.

The Fat-Man Moore's post-fall of Wall St, 2009 film "Capitalism: A Love Story" examines corrupt right-wing corporations blighting everyday U.S. lives, and by default, the whole world.

The film moves from Middle America, to the halls of power in Washington, to the global financial epicenter in Manhattan. With both humor and outrage, Moore explores the question: What is the price that America pays for its love of capitalism? Families pay with their jobs, their homes and their savings. The film goes into the homes of ordinary people whose lives have been turned upside down; and Moore goes looking for answers in Washington, DC and elsewhere. What he finds are the all-too-common symptoms of a love affair gone wrong: lies, abuse, betrayal, plus immoral bigtime crime, and 14,000 jobs being lost every day. The inescapable source of where the whole world's finances are now, just 3-years on. With Greece gone bust, the EU and UK both dragged down, and America on the brink of another 'fiscal cliff'.

'Capitalism: A Love Story' also presents what a more hopeful future could look like, by asking, 'Who are we and why do we behave the way that we do?'
 
(A great question also for another of Moore's great films "Bowling For Columbine", 2002, due a sad sequel "Yanks Kill Schoolkids!"  See list of U.S. School Shootings 1927 - to date'  in thread, 'Original Fat-Man Movie Blasts GUNS !')

And before any rabid, dog-eat-dog 'Greed Is God' Fraud Marketeers start foaming at their muzzles. Please note that the main backer for the Fat-Man movie about Capitalism was a multi, multi-millionaire 'Free' not 'Fraud' marketeeer. Who, like caring-Capitalist Michael Moore believes in paying, not evading, or avoiding taxes.

Recalls 19Hateys good Brit, Elton John. When other multi, multi-millionaire Brit rockers had offshore tax-scams, Elton contemptously said, "How much more bloody money do they need?"

Major 'caring' capitalist backs Moore's 'Capitalism A Love Story'.

YT-trailer,  'Captalism A Love Story''

Greed is what it has to do with it. Though the greed is not the real reason. Like the Country (in general) all these shops are in debt. So, they open more, to try & pay it off.

Like i've said before old bh, doesn't have any debts, as he lives with in his budget & doesn't buy things he can't afford. Now, if everyone did this, they'd be no personal debts, except that of Governments & Retail Shops...The shops that rent their premises aka Debenhams & all the other stores. Now, if I were opening a shop, I'd make sure I had enough to buy the premises & was able to afford the Tax, before I opened it & started trading.

WTF has that this got to do with the subject????[/quote][/quote]

No, their demise was caused by the availabilty of cheaper movies elsewhere - from Sky Movies, Love, Netflix, Graboid etc. As well as black-market editions and the free streaming and torrent sites. No, you were not right. Blockbuster did not fail because renters couldn't afford petrol!
